@rjejr I like to put a pipe in my basement and carry another around with me for instant access to my house.

@speedyboris I feel like that's almost a certainty at some point. Tropical Freeze is already there, and DKCR was one of the most popular Wii games I'm pretty sure. Hopefully it'd include the 3DS extra levels and maybe some new levels of its own.

@stevenw45 I'd love that. They're great games.

I actually like spiders. I try not to harm them when I see them. Except for that one black widow I found once recently. No way was I leaving that alone.

I feel like we're asking for it as far as even more ports goes...but would I say no to a lot of them? Probably not. Especially Samus Returns, Shadows of Valentia, and Super Mario 3D Land. My three favorite 3DS games.

@dkxcalibur Yeah, there are a lot of third party ones out there, and from what I hear the quality varies quite a bit. It'd be nice if we could figure out how to get replacements of the exact same kind as Nintendo uses.

@Dm9982 I love me some GBA games, especially the Metroid ones. Give Odyssey another shot if you have the itch! It's a fantastic game. I'd almost bet money on Wind Waker and Twilight Princess coming what with this being the 35th anniversary of Zelda. Xenoblade X on Switch would be so awesome even if I'm not sure I'd play through it again. I remember so many wonderful school and summer nights just getting lost in that world doing side quests and listening to the music (which really grew on me). My brother liked falling asleep at night watching me play it too. It'd be a real shame if that game died with the Wii U.

I'm also really hoping Paper Mario Color Splash and Star Fox Zero make the jump somehow. I love both games a lot. Zero could really benefit from a reworked control scheme. Color Splash I've been playing with my brother when we're together, and we've both been having a blast with it.

I'm really glad I kept my Wii U because they seem to be getting expensive. Plus when I found that my Galaxy 2 disc was broken (crashes when you enter a level) I just had to go download the game for $20, saving me from having to buy a physical copy at likely a more expensive price.

Yep, Galaxy 2 is not really the kind of game you want to jump right into right after completing the first. There's so much content you need a break. Well unless you're a Mario fanatic like I am. You might have seen some of my weekend Mario Marathon posts on here between August and December...I played through almost all of those. It was a staggering amount of Mario, though I kind of regret quitting part way through Mario + Rabbids. The burnout was real. Though that could be just because it's an RPG. I still really wanted to replay Odyssey.

@Dm9982 I didn't appreciate Galaxy 2 enough when it first released...my brother and I thought it was disappointing and too similar to the first (he still does to this day). Now I replayed it for a Mario 35th anniversary marathon I was doing last year, and I just thought it was incredible. Easily the best Mario game ever in my opinion. I wanted to get all 242 stars so badly, but I figured it was due out on Switch at some point so I only got the minimum 70 needed to see the credits. I really hope it does come because Galaxy 1's little QOL improvements like being able to play on a regular controller with no motion controls and a gyro pointer that doesn't rely on an unobstructed sensor bar were just incredible. It made it really hard to go back to the way you have to play Galaxy 2.

Skyward Sword I absolutely get peoples' hate for, but I love it motion controls and all. I'm probably one of the few who actually really did enjoy the controls, and I'm so happy I can still use them on Switch or even undock it and just play with buttons and sticks.

The Palutena nerfs kinda hurt. She's not my main, but I do really enjoy playing as her.

@Dm9982 When I originally got Bravely Default, I never got more than I think about 30 minutes into it. And then a week later Smash Bros on 3DS came out. Woops.

So I guess my MO going forward is that if a game isn't something I know I really want to play and finish, don't bother with it. I know I'll miss out on a lot of great games, but it'll help me save some money at least. Right now, I only have a few games planned out for this whole year: Crash Bandicoot 4 on Switch next week, Star Wars Republic Commando in April, Subnautica + Subnautica Sub Zero in May, and then Skyward Sword HD in July. That's if Nintendo doesn't announce anything else at least. I'll be all over Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD if those come. Galaxy 2 also if that's still a possibility. I'd go absolutely nuts if we got Galaxy 2 on Switch.

@Dm9982 I initially was hesitant with Disjunction. I didn't think it looked great in motion, but I'm always saying how I want more stealth games on Switch so I put my money on it. What I really want is Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Splinter Cell Blacklist, and Ghost Recon Future Solider. My ultimate trio of stealth games.

And same here on the genre thing. I just simply can't enjoy most RPGs anymore. I used to have the time for them, but I don't really anymore, and the gameplay usually doesn't draw me in since I prefer something a bit more direct like a platformer or like Doom.

Thanks for the heads-up! I was wondering when I could update my game.

@Dm9982 Until recently I pretty much bought any game that I found interesting, but I've realized how I end up buying way too many, yet when it comes to actually playing games, I find that I spend more and more time just looking at stuff on YouTube...and when I actually do play, it's always the tried and tested games that I know I enjoy. With those, I already know I enjoy them and don't have to put in any effort to get to the point where the game clicks with me. I always have to put in some effort up front with almost all new games before they actually click with me, but when they do, it's downhill from there. I've almost always enjoyed new games more after a few days than I do on release day.

I actually did get Disjunction too though. It was one of the last ones I got before deciding to just start ignoring all but the games that interest me the most.

@Dm9982 I think I've given up hope on ever clearing mine out...it's why I don't typically buy new games anymore aside from the big ones that interest me the most like 3D World + Bowser's Fury or Crash 4 next week. I've been ignoring all the smaller games coming out for quite a while now.

Final piece? But we need a Zero 4 to match up with Mega Man Zero!

@Dm9982 Yeah, I haven't even completed 2 yet...

@dkxcalibur Another thought I just had: I don't know the specific reason you're trying to get away from the joycons, but if it's drift, I did use this repair kit to great effect. It's probably better to use the replacement sticks as opposed to opening up the stick assembly and cleaning it yourself because my drift issues started to come back on (admittedly rare) occasion after a couple of weeks. Getting the stick assembly open and put back together was pretty tough too.

Also, some good guide videos I used:

I actually find it kind of fun to get into my stuff and repair it myself, so you might consider it. Just another option, though I don't blame you if you just don't want to.

@dkxcalibur In that case, the satisfye grip might be better for you, although I know you don't want to deal with the joycons themselves...I think there are a bunch of other third party joycons you could also try, but I've not researched into any of those.

@dkxcalibur I love the split pad pro! It feels very comfortable, and the matte texture gives it a pretty nice grip. The biggest caveat is that it has no gyro and can't be used wirelessly. That's why I tag team it with my satisfye grip. The satisfye is for everything involving gyro controls (shooters, Bit Trip Beat and Bit Trip Flux) while the split pad is for everything else not involving gyro. The bigger sticks have more travel distance which make them great for better precision. I quite enjoy using them in say Mario 3D World for instance. I'd also look at some Amazon reviews and YouTube videos as well to get some other opinions. Also, there are some pretty good cases for the split pad pro:

Those are only for the split pad though. I personally went with this for holding both the satisfye and split pad in addition to a battery bank. It's a very big case, but they also have a slim variant without the space for the battery bank:

I know they said the second fighter pass would extend through 2021, but there's only two fighters left, and we're just in March. It'll be really interesting to see how the rest of it pans out.

I'm guessing another fighter will come in June or July and then the final one in October or November.

I loved the DX version and have yet to actually play the Switch one, although it has been sitting on my SD card for a good while now.

@Rika_Yoshitake Personally I think a 720P OLED would be a bigger improvement than a 1080P LCD.

Whenever a new model does come, I just hope it'd still be compatible with the satisfye grip and the split pad pro I recently got.

I was looking at this on the Switch eShop and noticed they spelled it lanwmower twice. I almost thought it was on purpose.

This is cool, and I'd love to make use of it, but I've already designed my town around having three levels...and I bet they're probably gonna patch this out.

A Doshin the Giant remaster would be great.

@nhSnork That would be cool, though it'd probably run like crap!

@Muh-ario I'm pretty sure it would be at least as long as Crash 3 if you're just going from start to credits, but full completion is said to take much, MUCH longer. Also it's $40 on Switch as opposed to $60 if that helps, though I'm not sure how that'll translate into Canadian pricing.

Edit: actually it would appear to be longer. How Long To Beat has Crash 1 - 3 listed as around 6 hours for the main story of each and around 11 - 14 hours for full completion. Crash 4 is listed as 10 hours for main story and 67 hours for full completion. So it seems to be a lot meatier.

Just Crash 4 for me.

Well...I've done almost everything possible in 3D World on Switch except beat Champion's Road with Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad. It was actually pretty easy with Rosalina. Once I've finished it with all of them, I'll finally head into Bowser's Fury, which I really haven't even touched yet. Aside from that, I'll keep working on breeding a blue rose in Animal Crossing. I have a step by step guide for how to get a high chance of growing one. It just takes a good bit of time, but you can just do it one day at a time.

Also I'm in the mood for some BIT.TRIP BEAT and FLUX. The BIT.TRIP games are seriously addictive, especially those two I mentioned.

Might also even squeeze a few Smash Bros matches in here and there.

I'll wait for Ridley Scott's Final Cut without the voiceover.

Got my original blue 3DS in the mail sometime after launch day and spent the entire day playing AR games. I was blown away. Since then upgraded to an XL and then a New XL which I even got a big ole Mugen battery for. I love the device so much it upsets me that glasses free 3D isn't really coming back, and these things are only gonna get harder to find and keep in good, working condition. Still, the 3DS was one heck of a train ride, and one I'm proud to have ridden.

Ya know what's really scary? Next year, the Wii U is ten years old. That one feels like it came out just a couple years ago.

@rjejr Nah, I haven't seen Logan's Run, but now that you've brought it to my attention I might have to add it to my list.

@1ofUs That seems to just be how Square Enix chooses to name their games. I'm pretty sure Final Fantasy VII on Switch is the same way.

@TheFullAndy Kind of makes me wish the Switch's internal gyro were the default one then. Either that or I wish Hori could do an updated split pad pro with built in battery and gyro. Maybe even wireless capability and the ability to dock together to form a pro controller. That'd be cool.

@rjejr I hadn't thought about that, but you're right... Nintendo logic. I would not be at all surprised if they only work across one level. Adding to that, I kind of doubt they'd work from inside your house to somewhere outside it, but I'd love to be wrong about that.

And I think I remember hearing or reading somewhere that when you have multiple warp pipes, your destination is random. So...not very useful if you're using more than two pipes it sounds like to me.

@Glassneedles I was looking at some replies to the developer's tweet. Apparently there's a gyro inside the Switch itself that usually doesn't get used. Not sure if that's true or not though.

I've run out of inclines due to one of my landmarks using a whopping four of them. The warp pipe might actually solve one of my problems.

@TheFullAndy Can you explain that bit to me about the gyro for the Hori split pad? Because I thought it didn't have gyro, otherwise I would have gotten one already...

I'll probably get this. I know people love it, and I like first person shooters and Star Wars.

Okay, so if this character gets two big personalities, how come Zero Suit Samus and Snake are still downgraded? Nobody is asking the important questions.

I still have my gold Wii copy. I also have the gold Wiimote and Nunchuck, and they're my go to controllers for all my Wii games!

Last weekend I cleared out the vast majority of 3D World on Switch, getting all the green stars and stamps (except the ones on Champion's Road) and completing all the levels (again, except Champion's Road) with Peach, Toad, and Rosalina. I'm just starting the Bowser World now with Luigi and then I'll do one final pass through with Mario. Then I'll do Champion's Road with each character. Phew!

My favorite Zelda game is Twilight Princess, but this is very far up my list! I'd say I like it more than Wind Waker and Majora's Mask quite easily.

If Order had won that last Splatfest, I wonder if we'd be looking at a futuristic looking Splatoon 3.

Already downloaded Thomas Was Alone. I've heard so much about it I figured it's worth trying.

@JimmySpades Also because it means you aren't adding more to the backlog. I was kind of relieved after yesterday's direct when there wasn't much I wanted from it.

This seems like something I'd be interested in. I love sci-fi stuff, outer space, and time loops and such...

@TMNHertl Yes, Nintendo occasionally does indie game showcases. There was one on December 15th apparently.

I kind of just mostly played the campaign and Octo Expansion in 2. Not sure if it's worth me getting this one since I don't really play multiplayer in games.

I was so happy about this. I love Skyward Sword. Being able to play with just buttons is great too.

I just want Galaxy 2 and 3D Land on Switch...

...and some Splinter Cell ports from Ubisoft.

And I think I can speak for all of us when I say we want a new Doshin the Giant game.

@crudfish I know you made your comment ages ago, but I really agree. Going from Galaxy 1 + Pro Controller + gyro pointer to Galaxy 2 + Wiimote + Nunchuck + sensor bar pointer felt like a huge step back. I'm really hoping Galaxy 2 still comes to Switch because the Galaxy games play so much better on Switch in my opinion.
